Bounceback question

[dustyraye]

We will be staying at WL in October, and are planning another trip for Jan. or Feb. 2009. If we go ahead and book the room now, and there is a bounceback offer while we are there in October, will they be able to apply the BB code to our existing reservation (assuming it is available for the resort and dates that we want)?

Thanks!

Assuming the bounceback is for your dates and resort then yes but the current bounceback is only for free dining for next august/september/october

You don't show when you are going in October, but I just wanted to mention that the BB Free Dining for 2009 (next Aug-Oct) that is going on now, is (so far) the only BB that will be offered to resort guests until October 24, 2008.

So, if you are going before the 24th, probably your only BB choice will be to book the FD package ahead for next year's FD dates (Aug-Oct). I just don't want you to be disappointed that there probably won't be any BB for next Jan/Feb at that time...

Though if you're going after Oct 24 no one knows yet when/if another BB will start and what kind it will be. Based on last year though, the next one offered WILL most likely have a good range of next years dates. Good luck!

Actually, we don't arrive until the 25th, which is just after the Free Dining bounceback would end, so hopefully there will be another one right away, with a bigger variety of dates and just a room discount (since we have APs). The Jan./Feb. trip won't be the only one in 2009 (hopefully), since we bought annual passes and my SO's elderly mom lives in FL (so we try to get down to see her a few times each year), so even if it is later in the year, we could make it work.

Can you only book one trip with a bounceback? For instance, if the code covered all the right dates, could we book a couple of trips and get the bounceback on each of them? (A week in Feb. & one in April, for example)

Or maybe we could each book a different week, if they limit to one for each person in the room. Would that work?

Lucky you! You might just be one of the first with a BB for next year since you're going later. Call extension 8844 every day to see!

As far as I know they'll be glad to take your $$$ for as many future stays as you want!

Last year the BB that started after the FD BB expired included these dates:

12/9/07-12/15/07, 1/6/08-2/2/08, 2/24/08-3/1/08, 3/30/08-4/21/08, 8/10/08-9/27/08.

So this year, if they do about the same, you could book LOTS of BB trips!

HTH!

Well, they have managed to exclude both my birthday and our anniversary. Doesn't that figure?? Oh well, I may have to settle for an early birthday trip and a late anniversary trip. I think I'll survive.

Thanks for the info Seahunt!!
